Celebrate the Holiday Season

Children can visit with Santa, hop on the carousel or Alpine Safari (mechanical animals), visit the New Haven Free Public Library Bookmobile and enjoy holiday crafts. While downtown visit some of the city's award winning restaurants or grab a meal onsite: Lunchbox 23, The Cheese Truck, Jacks Concessions, Buns on the Run, and for that sweet tooth The Cannoli Truck and Elm City Kettle Corn.
